To visualize it.

It would look like the upper half of a toroid (upper half of a donut).

The y=x-x^2 is the upper profile of the shape.

The y=0 is the lower (planar) surface of the shape.

x = 2 defines the center of the hole.

Use the shell method and add up the multiple cylindrical integrated 'shells'. Which will constitute the shape.

It's a car not a science experiment! Open the throttle!
